When Pigs Fly

Starting from scratch, can we imply Was there a time when pigs could fly? There's Mary Poppins, Peter Pan the Flying Nun and Superman. Starting off in different ways, all of these flew without delays. But tales of Wilbur and Arnold, Porky or Piglet, none were told from the vantage point of flying. Imagine that you were lying, telling stories that were untrue about a Pegasus that flew. Scratch that horse and make it a pig, a Pigasus with wings so big he'd fly straight to Pinocchio whose tales could make a playroom glow. This Pigasus sets up a test to see whose ballyhoos are best. When pigs fly you've unlocked the latch - stretching the truth, starting from scratch. January 23, 2020 Brian Strand's Strand's Choice 4 contest
